Fujichrome 50 120: Intense Color

Fujichrome 50 in 120 is packed with vibrant color for your medium format camera. Take a look at my photos shot with this film after the jump!

While browsing new film to try in my cameras, I came across Fujichrome 50 in 120 format. I had shot 50 ISO in Black & White and was itching to try this low ISO in color. I live on an island surrounded by beaches and bright sunny weather a majority of the year. I find that I cannot use a lot of films at the beach because they will be washed out in fixed speed cameras. I have from very early a preference for low ISO film.

When my first roll arrived, I had planned a trip out to the Westside of the island of Oahu. I am a not one to waste film especially at the cost of slide. I did not want to take any chances and loaded this film in my Lubitel 166+ where I could exert the most control in each exposure. I shot this in 16 frames format.

You can see that the blues are pretty powerful. They were shot at approximately 3-4 in the afternoon on New Year’s Day. The grain is not present to me and the quality of the negatives were nice to work with each time. I have thought about pressing the negatives between to planes of glass to display in my house.

The next roll I shot was on the Northshore of Oahu, Haleiwa. These shots were also taken with the Lubitel 166+ and in the 12 exposure format as I had a little more confidence in the film with the camera and prefer the square format. Shot between 11 am and Noon, there is a considerable shift to blues and greens. We went to a place know as Turtle Town by some for the basking sea turtles. There are conservationists present to make sure we did not get any closer than 6 – 8 feet to the animals.

I am not sure if this film would have exposure success in a Holga or even a Diana except with a tripod and some patience in Bulb mode. A Hasselblad or other camera with aperture and shutter control would be recommended.

I have not cross processed Fujichrome 50, and to be truthful, I probably never will because I enjoy the E-6 quality of this film. I would like to see the results if you try.
